SPECIAL INTEREST IN IMAGING AND SURGERY
Soft tissue surgery is a broad field that encompasses a wide range of procedures involving the body’s soft tissues, which include internal organs, the body wall, masses or tumours, and hernias or defects.
These procedures can be performed using various techniques, such as open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or robotic surgery. Some common examples of soft tissue surgery include appendectomy, cholecystectomy, mastectomy, liposuction, hernia repair, excisional biopsy, lumpectomy, and radical surgery. While these procedures can be complex and challenging, they can also be life-saving treatments for many patients. If you are considering soft tissue surgery, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
The study of organs and their function inside the patient utilising a machine that emits sound waves and interprets their echoes to create a real-time image, just like a bat assessing its environment using echolocation.
Ultrasound has a broad spectrum of medical applications, ranging from diagnosing heart conditions to examining the structure and function of other organs. It is a valuable tool for guiding procedures such as biopsies and aspirations, ensuring accuracy and minimising potential complications.
The technique involves the emission of high-frequency sound waves into the body, which bounce off internal structures and return as echoes. These echoes are then processed by a computer to create detailed images. Ultrasound’s versatility and safety make it an indispensable diagnostic tool in modern healthcare.
